Luckily, helping people with seizures is relatively straightforward. ·Clear the surroundings to protect the person from hurting themselves. ·Activate (激活) emergency medical services if the seizure lasts more than 5 minutes or if the person is not breathing afterward. ·After this period of time has ended, help them to the floor and put something soft or flat under their head. Turn them on to their side to ease breathing, but do not hold the person down or try to stop their movements. ·Be friendly and reassure them as their consciousness (意识) returns and do not offer food or water until they are fully alert. Help someone survive a heart attack It helps to know the symptoms of a heart attack, which can include rapid heartbeat, pressure or pain in the chest, a sore throat, general unease, and sweating. Rush the person to the hospital immediately while giving them an aspirin, which the person should chew. Identify someone having a stroke Again, knowing the symptoms of a stroke is important. They include temporary inability to talk or understand what is being said, confusion, loss of balance or dizziness, inability to raise their arms and severe headaches with no warning, among others. Rush a person that you suspect has had a stroke to the emergency room immediately. 21. Which of the following treatments is proper to save people with seizures? A. Protecting them against injuries from others. B. Having the meat or drink nothing before recovery. C. Keeping their facedown to make sure of their breath. D. Contacting doctors the moment the condition happens. 22. What is a symptom of a heart attack? A. Loss of balance. B. Confusion. C. Slow heartbeat. D. A sore throat. 23. Where is the text most likely taken from? A A magazine for seniors. B. A website about health. C. A brochure for visitors. D. A guidebook about animals. B As a mother and a professional working full time, I spent all of my 30 years saying yes. Saying yes to things I wanted to do, but a lot of the time saying yes to things I disliked. This was a people-pleasing technique that would affect people’s opinion of me: the woman who could do it all, so that I can obtain a nice fame in their mind. Little did I know that I was also developing an autoimmune (自身免疫的) disease, which I have to believe was my body’s way of telling me to slow down. I had severely swollen joints and brain fog but I pushed through so that I could look in the mirror at the end of the day and feel “accomplished”. The only things I was accomplishing were bad health and bad habits. And then a series of events changed everything: serious medical issues and losing my job. It took all that to help me see how intensely burnt out I was. I spent a lot of time thinking about where I had to be next instead of being present in the moment. But now, I wake up each day knowing that everything on my schedule has been purposefully agreed to. Looking back, I had the capability to suffer the pressure to say yes. I also felt it necessary to say yes, from driving people to the airport to seeing family every Friday night. I always wanted to solve everyone’s problems and offered sound and immediate solutions. It was one big “yes” to everything. I was everyone’s cheerleader, but forgot how to cheer for myself along the way. But saying no is being my own cheerleader. And it’s not saying no to caring for family and friends. Instead, it’s a minor change in mindset, taking a pause before automatically agreeing. I take a breath, do a quick count of my energy and ability before jumping in. 24. Why did the author say yes to things she disliked? A. To please her boss. B. To prove her profession. C. To earn herself a good reputation. D. To push herself to the limit. 25. How did the author deal with the changes in her body? A. She got rid of bad habits. B. She thought little of them. C. She slowed down her life pace. D. She paid more attention to her health. 26. What will the author do before saying yes? A. Find a cheerleader. B. Evaluate her situation. C. Breathe in some fresh air. D. Seek help from her friends. 27. Which of the following is a suitable title for the passage? A. Ways to Improve Time Management. B. The Dangers of Autoimmune Diseases. C. How to Build a Good Reputation at Work. D. The Importance of Saying “No” for Self-Care. C An alarming phenomenon has sprung up over the past few years: Many students are arriving at college unprepared to read entire books. A Columbia professor said his students are overwhelmed at the thought of reading multiple books a semester; a professor at the University of Virginia said that his students shut down when they’re confronted with ideas they don’t understand. Criticizing young people’s literacy is a pastime that stretches back centuries, but in the past decade, something seems to have noticeably shifted. Most of the professors said they’ve seen a generational change in how their students engage with literature. Why is this happening? The allure of smartphones and social media came up, and it appears that many middle and high schools are teaching fewer full books. The problem does not appear to be that “kids these days” are incurious or uninterested in reading. Instead, young people might be responding to a cultural message: Books just aren’t that important. Professors didn’t think their students were lazy. If anything, they were shocked at how over-scheduled and anxious college kids are today—and they saw that their students’ schedules are crowded with activities that are less about personal development and more relevant to future employment. There are too many demands on their time and focus to immerse themselves easily or fully in works of literature that might take 20 hours to consume. In 1971, 37 percent of students said that a central objective of their college years was to become well-off financially. Seventy-three percent said it was to develop a meaningful philosophy of life. By now, those numbers had almost reversed. Eighty-two percent of students said that it was essential for them to use college to become well-off financially, while 47 percent said they wanted to develop a meaningful philosophy of life. Pundits and parents alike have emphasized preprofessional courses and downplayed the importance of humanistic study. In this environment, spending hours reading a novel may seem unproductive. 28. Why does the author mention two professors in paragraph 1? A. To draw a conclusion. B. To put forward the topic. C. To provide background information. D. To give supporting evidence to the topic. 29. What does the underlined word “allure” mean in paragraph 2? A. appearance B. charm C. decline D. reputation 30. What may contribute to college students’ change in reading books? A. The widespread of digital devices. B. The disappearance of literature interest. C. The laziness character in human nature. D. The finance situation in their college life. 31. How does the author develop the last paragraph? A. By giving a description. B. By listing numbers. C By making a comparison. D. By offering examples. D Many actors have famously remarked that they have, time and again, lost themselves in their performances. Now, researchers at University College London (UCL) have found some truth to this statement. A new study suggests actors may contain their sense of self when they take on a new character, hinting at the massive impact theater training may have on fundamental mechanisms of the human brain. “Our findings indicate that cooperating with the theater industry could be helpful in producing theories about social interaction that could also be investigated in the real world,” said Dwaynica Greaves, lead author of the study. In particular, the researchers are hoping that future work in this space can focus on how participation in theatrical activities might help people with autism (自闭症). The actors in the study were fitted with brain imaging technology while they rehearsed scenes from Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. When they heard their names while performing, their response was contained in the brain region associated with self-awareness. While they were not performing, the actors responded normally when called by name. The study also looked at interpersonal coordination between pairs of actors. The researchers noticed that two actors rehearsing together had similar brain activity in the regions of the brain associated with social interaction and action planning, revealing “specific brain systems that are coordinated during complex social interactions”. In fact, drama therapy has been considered a beneficial practical strategy for improving social communication in children with developmental or learning disabilities. An initial study found students with autism who underwent theater experiences showed significant positive changes in the development of social and language skills. In the future, researchers at UCL aim to include both trained and untrained actors as subjects. The recent study, admittedly, lacked a control group of people without theater training and had a small sample size of only 6 actors. But the researchers remain hopeful of the possible future applications of their findings in aiding social communication, including in individuals with autism. 32. What did the new study find about actors taking on a role? A. Their self-awareness may weaken. B. They may lose themselves completely. C. Their brain mechanisms may be damaged. D They may forget their previous experiences. 33. How did the researchers conduct the study? A. By interacting with the actors. B. By observing the actors’ behavior. C. By surveying the actors’ responses. D. By monitoring the actors’ brain activity. 34. What did drama therapy bring to students with autism? A. Improved physical health. B. Enhanced cognitive abilities. C. Strengthened interpersonal skills. D. Increased academic performance. 35. What can be inferred about the study? A. The researchers lacked expertise. B. It can be used to train child actors. C. It is promising despite its limitations. D. It is a major breakthrough in medicine. 第二节(共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中两项为多余选项。 True, some of us find sweating takes effort and is even a little unpleasant. ____36____ Here are some pretty incredible reasons why sweating is good for you. ● Defeat Harmful Microbes (微生物) Working up a sweat is good for the immune system. ____37____ It turns out that sweat can defeat certain harmful bacteria and viruses in the body. ● Protect the Heart Healthy sweating increases blood flow and strengthens the cardiovascular (心血管) system.

He was always late, so she shouted his name, hoping to speed him up. Finally, Nate rushed out, putting his helmet on his head. He picked up his bike, a red one with green stars on it. Together they sped away, racing to the park under the warm sunshine. At the park, they dropped their bikes and walked to the swings. Onto the swings they jumped, swinging like their feet could touch the sky. Nate had a surprise for Brie, something he was sure she hadn’t seen before. Once they stopped swinging, Nate decided it was time to share his little surprise. He reached into his pocket and took out a shiny compass—a birthday gift from his grandpa. Nate opened the compass, and Brie’s eyes widened with wonder. She mistook it for a clock at first, but Nate clarified that it indicated directions: N for north, S for south, and E and W for east and west. Holding the compass made Nate feel like a big boy, not a ten-year-old. Brie was impressed and curious about its purpose. Nate explained that it would help him find the right direction while walking. Realizing its significance, Brie asked to try it. She held the compass, watching the needle (指针) swing as she turned, amazed by how it always pointed north. Their exploration was stopped when Brie noticed three boys from their neighborhood approaching. Nate put the compass back into his pocket, and they greeted the newcomers. Bill, one of the boys, had a basketball and suggested they play together. Then they had a great time, filled with laughter and games. As the fun continued, Nate suddenly felt hungry and thirsty. Brie expressed her similar feelings. Bill pointed to the small store in the park. Excited, they walked toward it, chatting away. However, when they arrived, disappointment washed over them—the store was closed for Sunday. Bill stared at the door for a moment and then proposed breaking the lock, saying it would be easy and the shopkeeper wouldn’t miss a few juice boxes and snacks. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Brie and Nate exchanged looks and went silent, uncomfortable with the idea. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, Brie and Nate heard that Bill and two other boys had been caught and punished by a park officer. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 绝密★考试结束前 浙东北县域名校发展联盟(ZDB) 2024/2025学年第二学期期中考试高二英语试卷 考生须知： 1. 本卷共10页满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2. 答题前，在答题卷指定区域填写班级、姓名、考场号、座位号及准考证号并填涂相应数字。 3. 所有答案必须写在答题纸上，写在试卷上无效。 4. 考试结束后，只需上交答题纸。 第I卷(选择题部分) 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题，每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What are the speakers probably doing?

It’s a well-known fact that the most famous chefs are men. One day when I was surfing the Net looking for something interesting, I found an article about brilliant people. They took their usual jobs to another level. The story of one French man, Alain Ducasse, caught my eye. Mr. Ducasse, born in 1956, managed to grow from an ordinary farmer’s child to the world’s best chef. With his talent and continuous hard work, Mr. Ducasse has earned 21 Michelin Stars throughout his career. Michelin Stars, by the way, are top-level awards given to restaurants for outstanding cooking. He has built a grand business over the years with 36 restaurants spread around the globe. Customers can visit Mr. Ducasse’s high-end restaurants in France, the USA, Italy and even Japan. In addition to being known for making world-class French cuisine, Mr. Ducasse is a famous chef who has sent his food into space. In 2015, he sent meals to astronauts at the International Space Station. 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题，每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Treating Rarer Cases in First Aid Situations Help someone who is having a seizure Seizures (疾病突发) can be scary things for people who have never experienced them before. Luckily, helping people with seizures is relatively straightforward. ·Clear the surroundings to protect the person from hurting themselves. ·Activate (激活) emergency medical services if the seizure lasts more than 5 minutes or if the person is not breathing afterward. ·After this period of time has ended, help them to the floor and put something soft or flat under their head. Turn them on to their side to ease breathing, but do not hold the person down or try to stop their movements. ·Be friendly and reassure them as their consciousness (意识) returns and do not offer food or water until they are fully alert. Help someone survive a heart attack It helps to know the symptoms of a heart attack, which can include rapid heartbeat, pressure or pain in the chest, a sore throat, general unease, and sweating. Rush the person to the hospital immediately while giving them an aspirin, which the person should chew. Identify someone having a stroke Again, knowing the symptoms of a stroke is important. They include temporary inability to talk or understand what is being said, confusion, loss of balance or dizziness, inability to raise their arms and severe headaches with no warning, among others.

(当他们的意识恢复时，要友好地安抚他们，在他们完全警觉之前不要提供食物或水)”可知，在施救的过程中不能让病人进食和喝水。故选B。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Help someone survive a heart attack部分中“It helps to know the symptoms of a heart attack, which can include rapid heartbeat, pressure or pain in the chest, a sore throat, general unease, and sweating. (它有助于了解心脏病发作的症状，包括心跳加快、压力或胸部疼痛、喉咙痛、全身不安和出汗。)”可知，心脏病的一个症状是喉咙痛。故选D。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据标题“Treating Rarer Cases in First Aid Situations (在急救情况下处理罕见病例)”以及通读全文可知，文章介绍的是几种不同情况下的急救知识，所以该文章最可能来自于普及健康知识的网站。故选B。 B As a mother and a professional working full time, I spent all of my 30 years saying yes. Saying yes to things I wanted to do, but a lot of the time saying yes to things I disliked. This was a people-pleasing technique that would affect people’s opinion of me: the woman who could do it all, so that I can obtain a nice fame in their mind. Little did I know that I was also developing an autoimmune (自身免疫的) disease, which I have to believe was my body’s way of telling me to slow down. I had severely swollen joints and brain fog but I pushed through so that I could look in the mirror at the end of the day and feel “accomplished”. The only things I was accomplishing were bad health and bad habits. And then a series of events changed everything: serious medical issues and losing my job. It took all that to help me see how intensely burnt out I was. I spent a lot of time thinking about where I had to be next instead of being present in the moment. But now, I wake up each day knowing that everything on my schedule has been purposefully agreed to. Looking back, I had the capability to suffer the pressure to say yes. I also felt it necessary to say yes, from driving people to the airport to seeing family every Friday night. I always wanted to solve everyone’s problems and offered sound and immediate solutions. It was one big “yes” to everything. I was everyone’s cheerleader, but forgot how to cheer for myself along the way. But saying no is being my own cheerleader. And it’s not saying no to caring for family and friends. Instead, it’s a minor change in mindset, taking a pause before automatically agreeing. I take a breath, do a quick count of my energy and ability before jumping in. 24. Why did the author say yes to things she disliked? A. To please her boss. B. To prove her profession. C. To earn herself a good reputation. D. To push herself to the limit. 25. How did the author deal with the changes in her body? A. She got rid of bad habits. B. She thought little of them. C. She slowed down her life pace. D. She paid more attention to her health. 26. What will the author do before saying yes? A. Find a cheerleader. B. Evaluate her situation. C. Breathe in some fresh air. D. Seek help from her friends. 27. Which of the following is a suitable title for the passage? A. Ways to Improve Time Management. B. The Dangers of Autoimmune Diseases. C. How to Build a Good Reputation at Work. D. The Importance of Saying “No” for Self-Care. 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. B 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了作者过去总是习惯性地说“是”，即使是不喜欢的事情，导致健康出现问题。经历了一系列事件后，作者开始学会说“不”，并更加关注自己的需求和健康。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“This was a people-pleasing technique that would affect people’s opinion of me: the woman who could do it all, so that I can obtain a nice fame in their mind.(这是一种取悦他人的技巧，会影响别人对我的看法：我是一个无所不能的女人，这样我才能在他们的心目中赢得一个好名声。)”可知，作者对自己不喜欢的事情说“是”，是为了在别人心目中赢得一个好名声。故选C项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“I had severely swollen joints and brain fog but I pushed through so that I could look in the mirror at the end of the day and feel “accomplished”.(我的关节严重肿胀，大脑昏沉，但我还是坚持了下来，这样我才能在一天结束时看着镜子里的自己，感到“有成就感”。)”可知，作者对自己的身体变化不太在意，而是继续坚持工作。故选B项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“I take a breath, do a quick count of my energy and ability before jumping in.(在答应之前，我会深呼吸，快速评估一下自己的精力和能力。)”可知，作者在说“是”之前会评估自己的情况。故选B项。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了作者过去总是习惯性地说“是”，导致健康出现问题，后来作者开始学会说“不”，并更加关注自己的需求和健康，故选项D“说“不”对自我照顾的重要性”能概括文章的主旨，适合作为文章的标题。故选D项。 C An alarming phenomenon has sprung up over the past few years: Many students are arriving at college unprepared to read entire books. A Columbia professor said his students are overwhelmed at the thought of reading multiple books a semester; a professor at the University of Virginia said that his students shut down when they’re confronted with ideas they don’t understand. Criticizing young people’s literacy is a pastime that stretches back centuries, but in the past decade, something seems to have noticeably shifted. Most of the professors said they’ve seen a generational change in how their students engage with literature. Why is this happening? The allure of smartphones and social media came up, and it appears that many middle and high schools are teaching fewer full books. The problem does not appear to be that “kids these days” are incurious or uninterested in reading. Instead, young people might be responding to a cultural message: Books just aren’t that important. Professors didn’t think their students were lazy. If anything, they were shocked at how over-scheduled and anxious college kids are today—and they saw that their students’ schedules are crowded with activities that are less about personal development and more relevant to future employment. There are too many demands on their time and focus to immerse themselves easily or fully in works of literature that might take 20 hours to consume. In 1971, 37 percent of students said that a central objective of their college years was to become well-off financially. Seventy-three percent said it was to develop a meaningful philosophy of life. By now, those numbers had almost reversed. Eighty-two percent of students said that it was essential for them to use college to become well-off financially, while 47 percent said they wanted to develop a meaningful philosophy of life. Pundits and parents alike have emphasized preprofessional courses and downplayed the importance of humanistic study. In this environment, spending hours reading a novel may seem unproductive. 28. Why does the author mention two professors in paragraph 1? A. To draw a conclusion. B. To put forward the topic. C. To provide background information. D. To give supporting evidence to the topic. 29. What does the underlined word “allure” mean in paragraph 2? A. appearance B. charm C. decline D. reputation 30. What may contribute to college students’ change in reading books? A. The widespread of digital devices. B. The disappearance of literature interest. C. The laziness character in human nature. D. The finance situation in their college life. 31. How does the author develop the last paragraph? A. By giving a description. B. By listing numbers. C. By making a comparison. D. By offering examples. 【答案】28. D 29. B 30. A 31. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要围绕近年来大学生读书现状展开，探讨了学生阅读整本书准备不足的现象、原因及背后反映的问题。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段开篇提出“An alarming phenomenon has sprung up over the past few years: Many students are arriving at college unprepared to read entire books.( 过去几年出现了一个令人担忧的现象：许多学生上大学时没有准备好阅读整本书)”这一现象。接着提到“A Columbia professor said his students are overwhelmed at the thought of reading multiple books a semester; a professor at the University of Virginia said that his students shut down when they’re confronted with ideas they don’t understand.( 哥伦比亚大学的一位教授说，他的学生一想到一个学期要读好几本书，就不知所措；弗吉尼亚大学的一位教授说，他的学生在面对他们不理解的想法时就会沉默。)”可知，哥伦比亚大学的一位教授说他的学生一想到一个学期要读多本书就不知所措，弗吉尼亚大学的一位教授说他的学生在遇到不理解的观点时就会放弃。由此可知，提到这两位教授是为了给前面提出的现象提供支持性的证据，证明很多大学生没有准备好读整本书这一现象是存在的。故选D项。 【29题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第二段中“The…of smartphones and social media came up, and it appears that many middle and high schools are teaching fewer full books.( 智能手机和社交媒体的……开始显现，而且许多初中和高中似乎正在减少完整的课本教学。)”结合语境可知，智能手机和社交媒体的“魅力”导致了学生阅读整本书的情况减少，B选项“charm”（魅力）与 “allure”意思相近。故选B项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The allure of smartphones and social media came up, and it appears that many middle and high schools are teaching fewer full books. The problem does not appear to be that “kids these days” are incurious or uninterested in reading. Instead, young people might be responding to a cultural message: Books just aren’t that important.( 智能手机和社交媒体的诱惑开始显现，而且许多初中和高中似乎正在减少完整的课本教学。问题似乎不是“现在的孩子”对阅读不感兴趣或不感兴趣。相反，年轻人可能是在回应一种文化信息：书并没有那么重要。)”可知，智能手机和社交媒体的吸引力出现，且许多中学教授的整本书更少了，这可能导致了大学生在阅读书籍方面的变化。故选A项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“In 1971, 37 percent of students said that a central objective of their college years was to become well-off financially. Seventy-three percent said it was to develop a meaningful philosophy of life. By now, those numbers had almost reversed. Eighty-two percent of students said that it was essential for them to use college to become well-off financially, while 47 percent said they wanted to develop a meaningful philosophy of life.( 1971年，37%的学生表示，他们大学时代的核心目标是在经济上变得富裕。73%的人说是为了培养一种有意义的人生哲学。到目前为止，这些数字几乎已经逆转。82%的学生表示，利用大学时间实现经济富裕对他们来说至关重要，而47%的学生表示，他们希望培养一种有意义的人生哲学。)”可知，作者通过对比 1971 年和现在学生对于上大学目标的不同数据，1971 年 37% 的学生认为大学期间的主要目标是在经济上富裕，73% 的学生认为是培养有意义的人生哲学；现在 82% 的学生认为利用大学在经济上富裕很重要，47% 的学生认为想培养有意义的人生哲学。通过这种对比，说明了学生目标的变化以及对人文学科学习的忽视。故选C项。 D Many actors have famously remarked that they have, time and again, lost themselves in their performances. Now, researchers at University College London (UCL) have found some truth to this statement. A new study suggests actors may contain their sense of self when they take on a new character, hinting at the massive impact theater training may have on fundamental mechanisms of the human brain. “Our findings indicate that cooperating with the theater industry could be helpful in producing theories about social interaction that could also be investigated in the real world,” said Dwaynica Greaves, lead author of the study. In particular, the researchers are hoping that future work in this space can focus on how participation in theatrical activities might help people with autism (自闭症). The actors in the study were fitted with brain imaging technology while they rehearsed scenes from Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. When they heard their names while performing, their response was contained in the brain region associated with self-awareness. While they were not performing, the actors responded normally when called by name. The study also looked at interpersonal coordination between pairs of actors. The researchers noticed that two actors rehearsing together had similar brain activity in the regions of the brain associated with social interaction and action planning, revealing “specific brain systems that are coordinated during complex social interactions”. In fact, drama therapy has been considered a beneficial practical strategy for improving social communication in children with developmental or learning disabilities. An initial study found students with autism who underwent theater experiences showed significant positive changes in the development of social and language skills. In the future, researchers at UCL aim to include both trained and untrained actors as subjects. The recent study, admittedly, lacked a control group of people without theater training and had a small sample size of only 6 actors. But the researchers remain hopeful of the possible future applications of their findings in aiding social communication, including in individuals with autism. 32. What did the new study find about actors taking on a role? A. Their self-awareness may weaken. B. They may lose themselves completely. C. Their brain mechanisms may be damaged. D. They may forget their previous experiences. 33. How did the researchers conduct the study? A. By interacting with the actors. B. By observing the actors’ behavior. C. By surveying the actors’ responses. D. By monitoring the actors’ brain activity. 34. What did drama therapy bring to students with autism? A. Improved physical health. B. Enhanced cognitive abilities. C. Strengthened interpersonal skills. D. Increased academic performance. 35. What can be inferred about the study? A. The researchers lacked expertise. B. It can be used to train child actors. C. It is promising despite its limitations. D. It is a major breakthrough in medicine. 【答案】32. A 33. D 34. C 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了伦敦大学学院的一项新研究，该研究发现演员在扮演角色时可能会抑制自我意识，以及这一发现对理解人类大脑基本机制和社会互动的潜在影响。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“A new study suggests actors may contain their sense of self when they take on a new character, hinting at the massive impact theater training may have on fundamental mechanisms of the human brain. (一项新的研究表明，演员在扮演新角色时可能会抑制自我意识，这暗示着戏剧训练可能对人类大脑的基本机制产生巨大影响)”可知，演员在扮演角色时，他们的自我意识可能会减弱。故选A。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The actors in the study were fitted with brain imaging technology while they rehearsed scenes from Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. (参与研究的演员在排练莎士比亚的《仲夏夜之梦》中的场景时，都安装了脑成像技术)”可知，研究人员通过监测演员的脑活动来进行这项研究。故选D。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“An initial study found students with autism who underwent theater experiences showed significant positive changes in the development of social and language skills. (一项初步研究发现，有自闭症的学生在接受戏剧体验后，在社交和语言技能的发展上表现出了显著的积极变化)”可知，戏剧疗法给自闭症学生带来了社交能力的提升，即加强了他们的人际交往能力。故选C。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The recent study, admittedly, lacked a control group of people without theater training and had a small sample size of only 6 actors. But the researchers remain hopeful of the possible future applications of their findings in aiding social communication, including in individuals with autism. (诚然，最近的研究缺乏没有接受过戏剧训练的对照组，而且样本量很小，只有6名演员。但研究人员仍然对他们发现的未来可能应用于帮助社交沟通 (包括自闭症患者) 的前景持乐观态度)”可知，尽管研究存在局限性，但研究人员对其未来在帮助社交沟通方面的应用前景持乐观态度，说明这项研究尽管有局限性，但还是有前景的。故选C。 第二节(共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中两项为多余选项。 True, some of us find sweating takes effort and is even a little unpleasant. ____36____ Here are some pretty incredible reasons why sweating is good for you. ● Defeat Harmful Microbes (微生物) Working up a sweat is good for the immune system. ____37____ It turns out that sweat can defeat certain harmful bacteria and viruses in the body. ● Protect the Heart Healthy sweating increases blood flow and strengthens the cardiovascular (心血管) system.

He was always late, so she shouted his name, hoping to speed him up. Finally, Nate rushed out, putting his helmet on his head. He picked up his bike, a red one with green stars on it. Together they sped away, racing to the park under the warm sunshine. At the park, they dropped their bikes and walked to the swings. Onto the swings they jumped, swinging like their feet could touch the sky. Nate had a surprise for Brie, something he was sure she hadn’t seen before. Once they stopped swinging, Nate decided it was time to share his little surprise. He reached into his pocket and took out a shiny compass—a birthday gift from his grandpa. Nate opened the compass, and Brie’s eyes widened with wonder. She mistook it for a clock at first, but Nate clarified that it indicated directions: N for north, S for south, and E and W for east and west. Holding the compass made Nate feel like a big boy, not a ten-year-old. Brie was impressed and curious about its purpose. Nate explained that it would help him find the right direction while walking. Realizing its significance, Brie asked to try it. She held the compass, watching the needle (指针) swing as she turned, amazed by how it always pointed north. Their exploration was stopped when Brie noticed three boys from their neighborhood approaching. Nate put the compass back into his pocket, and they greeted the newcomers. Bill, one of the boys, had a basketball and suggested they play together. Then they had a great time, filled with laughter and games. As the fun continued, Nate suddenly felt hungry and thirsty. Brie expressed her similar feelings. Bill pointed to the small store in the park. Excited, they walked toward it, chatting away. However, when they arrived, disappointment washed over them—the store was closed for Sunday. Bill stared at the door for a moment and then proposed breaking the lock, saying it would be easy and the shopkeeper wouldn’t miss a few juice boxes and snacks. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Brie and Nate exchanged looks and went silent, uncomfortable with the idea. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, Brie and Nate heard that Bill and two other boys had been caught and punished by a park officer. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Brie and Nate exchanged looks and went silent, uncomfortable with the idea. Bill turned around and pressed them to join in on the adventure. Brie, standing behind Nate, tapped him on the shoulder and whispered that they should go home. Nate hesitated, but Brie stated that they should get out of there right away and could come back later. So off Brie and Nate went to their bikes, trying to leave the unsettling situation behind. Bill called after them, asking if they were scared. They could hear his laughter as they rode away. The next day, Brie and Nate heard that Bill and two other boys had been caught and punished by a park officer. They exchanged shocked looks when hearing the news, realizing how close they had come to a bad decision. Nate praised Brie’s decision to leave the park, recognizing her wisdom in guiding them away from trouble. With a proud smile, Brie pointed to her head, saying that she had used her own compass to find the right direction. Nate, impressed, agreed that her compass might indeed be more powerful than his. And they believed that their friendship, like the compass, would always point them toward the right choices. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Brie和Nate在公园的经历。他们在游玩时遇到Bill提出的不良建议，最终选择离开并避免了错误的选择。第二天，他们得知Bill和其他男孩因不良行为被惩罚，从而更加坚定了自己的正确决定。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句“Brie和Nate对视一眼，沉默了，对这个想法感到不舒服。”可知，第一段可描写Brie和Nate在听到Bill提出破坏锁头的建议后的反应，以及他们如何做出离开的决定。 ②由第二段首句“第二天，Brie和Nate听说Bill和其他两个男孩被公园管理员抓到了，并受到了惩罚。”可知，第二段可描写Brie和Nate得知Bill和其他男孩被惩罚后的反应，以及他们对自己选择的反思和感悟。 2. 续写线索：公园游玩——遇到不良建议——选择离开——得知后果——反思感悟 3. 词汇激活： 行为类： ①离开：leave/depart/exit ②犹豫：hesitate/waver/falter ③赞扬：praise/think highly of ④低语：whisper/murmur/mutter 情绪类： ①惊讶的：shocked/astonished/amazed ②令人不安的：unsettling/disturbing/uneasy 【点睛】【高级句型1】Brie, standing behind Nate, tapped him on the shoulder and whispered that they should go home.
